So this is how the car started during the beginning of my spring break...

 

got driver side of IPL sides on. and putting passenger side on tomorrow. For people who want to see the difference ill post pics of both sides. Also, blacked out bezel around where fogs go and I also removed plasti dip on my wheels

What do you guys think so far?

Next is eibach drop, 20mm F 25mm R spacers, and IPL rear MIGHT go on. still thinking of selling it

 

i like the non-plasti dipped rims better. better color contrast and makes your black appear more glossy. going to put fogs in?

 

Looks good! I will also be spending my spring break working on my car. After having the car for about 2 years the mod bug has finally gotten me! I'm starting with the IPL front bumper and tint. You might have convinced me to get a pair of the IPL side skirts too, they look really good on your car. Also, I have to agree with chris, that the rims look better without the plasti dip.

Keep up the good work!

 

nope not putting the fogs in. I actually dont like the look of the fogs in the car

as far as the plasti dip on the rims, when i first put it on, it looked really good and after about 3-4 months, it started to look horrible and no matter how much i tried to clean it, the dirt wouldnt get off

I'm glad i took the plasti dip off. What do you guys think about painting the rims gunmetal?

 

im biased towards bright rims.. dark rims just reminds me of a car on a donut... :T i'd say scoop up a pair of gold rims. OB with gold rims with a fat step lip = sex

 

Looks like you're on your way. How hard were the IPL side skirts to put on? I'm about to have that chore to do soon.

 

I got a lot more pics. I'm waiting for them up go into my dropbox from my phone and ill post them up after. Basically i put on the rear and the passenger side side skirt

 

this is how my day started started from yesterday...

 

next i got the passenger ipl side skirt in

 

Now took tails out and dropped the rear bumper.

 

and the ipl rear bumper is in. I bought hole plugs from home depot and painted them black. they are currently drying but they are going in the holes in the rear. Sensors are too expensive!

 

just some more pics. Drop and spacers this weekend. Cant wait!

I washed and waxed after these pics because it started to get a little dark. After the wash and wax it was completely dark and couldnt take more pics, but if you are seeing any light spots on the car and darker spots on the ipl kit, its because its just dirty. The paint matches perfectly now.

Also, sorry for the bad license plate blocks. didnt really have a choice, im using a brand new computer

Honestly, I did the front bumper a few months ago and it was pita! The rear bumper i had a problem getting the second side on, i could only fit one side on and then my dad told me to try pulling the bumper edge away and it popped in easily, but i would say that was the easiest.

And in the middle were the sides. I did not care if i broke clips or whatever, and I broke 80 percent of the clips. Basically what I did was i took all the bolts out, and grabbed the side skirt on the front and pulled laterally away from the car while the door was open and taped bottom so there cant be any damage, and pulled as hard as i can, broke most of the clips and just got the sides out. The clips that broke werent a problem getting out of their holes. There was one white clip and on the passenger side door that would not come out no matter what. I tried everything what i ended up doing then was just breaking the sides of the clip and pushed it in.

But all in all. i would say side skirts are VERY easy as well as the rear bumper. Very easy for both. out of 10 i would give it a 3. Front bumper was a pain and i would give that a 6 out of 10. this is for 1 being the easiest and 10 being the hardest.

Also know that I am very inexperienced with cars and this was my first time ever doing anything like this to any car. I never took a rear bumper/sides/front bumper off any car before in my life. I never saw anyone take anything out. I just followed DIYs and the instructions that came with the parts

 

get a sweet set of BBK after you get rims that can fit it haha

 

Looking good! That's a productive spring break.
